David Duchovney and Demi Mooore star in the new Indy flick, The Joneses.
The Joneses is a story none of us have really seem before. It's the story of Kate and Steve Jones. They are the seemingly perfect couple with two great teenage kids. They live in a huge house in a very affluent area. They have the very best of everything. And I mean everything! They become the envy of all their neighbors and they seem to have to have all that the Joneses have. Theysimply have to keep up with the Joneses.
But are the Joneses what they seem? Are they really this pristine perfect couple with the world by the tail? Is their house really in order or is there something sinister under foot? And are they really worth the envy?
Our stars and supporting cast are very good. The story is original, and it is all assembled in a very nice, easy to follow, and uncomplicated package. Hard to categorize this movie. It's the best parts of many. At times light and airy, and others dramatic and savvy.
This is a very tidy 85 minute movie, that will keep you guessing from the minute it comes on. I am always drawn to movies that are original and thought provoking, and this one is. It has the Indy movie feel, and some may find this strange and quirky. This is also a movie with very little fanfare and promotion, and is shown in the tiniest theater next to the popcorn stand that's never open at the end of the hall.
But The Joneses, is good. Very good, and worth seeing.
